Chapter 95

Gu Bai didn't know the white-bearded old man, but he was very famous in the archeological team. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he also had a special trait — he loved to eat. He was the type who would put his face down for a mouthful of delicious food.

Because the mountain wall they were resting on was very narrow, the distance between the mountain walls could only accommodate one and a half people. When everyone sat down, they naturally sat in order. Nangong Xuan also passed down the red bean buns from the beginning to the end.

The bean buns were 'precious', and Nangong Xuan had calculated that everyone would get one. Since the white-bearded old man didn't get one, it could only mean that someone in front of him had taken an extra one.

The mountain wall was not only narrow, but the light was also very dim. Who knew who had taken the extra one? Furthermore, to be able to do such an embarrassing thing in front of everyone in the galaxy meant that this' thief 'had to be very clever.

At this time, there was no need to be conflicted over such things. Nangong Xuan generously gave another one to the old man, but the old man refused to accept it. He angrily demanded that the greedy bastard be found!

Everyone knew about the old man's bad temper. The dean was speechless. In order not to waste time, he took out his communicator and prepared to contact the people outside to ask which idiot had done such an embarrassing thing.

After all, everyone was equipped with an exclusive camera. In addition to taking pictures of everything, it was also for surveillance purposes. This was the tomb of the mother planet. Any random item inside would be a priceless treasure if taken outside. It was inevitable that some people would be unable to resist the temptation.

Now, someone had actually done something as embarrassing as' gluttony 'under such surveillance. Not just the dean, everyone thought that this' thief 'was a complete idiot …

But soon, everyone stopped laughing because their communicators didn't work. Not only the dean, everyone's communicators didn't work.

"What's going on, why can't I open my personal terminal?!"

Someone screamed in horror. Everyone heard that and checked their personal terminals. Then, they realized that not only their communicators and personal terminals, but most of their high-tech gadgets also didn't work!

This wasn't a small matter. With the development of time, humans had become more and more reliant on technology. If these things didn't work, it meant that a wild wolf had lost its sharp teeth and claws, ready to be slaughtered.

The reason they could enter the depths of the tomb so easily was because they relied on their technology to deal with the powerful traps. Without these, how were they going to return?

"My lords, what should we do now …"

Everyone looked at Han Lijun and the soldiers. Without the help of technological weapons, this group of scholars who only had brain power was similar to ordinary people on Earth. They had no ability to protect themselves at all. They could only pin their hopes on the generals and soldiers who would protect everyone.

"Calm down, everyone. General Han has led us through countless battles with the insectoids. He'll definitely be able to protect everyone back safely!"

The Deputy General comforted him.

Han Lijun gestured for everyone not to panic. General Han was very serious when he didn't need to use his persona. He looked expressionlessly at the camera that was still operating normally and immediately made a gesture for help. Then, he began to rest and think of a way to save himself.

Even if he and the soldiers didn't have any interstellar weapons, they could easily return to Earth with their strong spiritual power and physique. However, it wasn't easy to bring so many weak scholars with them. They had to rely on people from the outside to help them.

"God bless them …"

When the netizens saw this, they all took a deep breath and began to pray.

The Imperial Army and the King were at their wits' end when they received the distress signal. The entire ancient tomb was enveloped and sealed by a strange force. The tomb door couldn't be opened and the people outside couldn't enter. They could only watch as the people inside the ancient tomb tried to save themselves.

After sending the distress signal, Han Lijun took charge of the situation and immediately led everyone away from the narrow mountain wall. They returned to the wider burial pit to avoid any accidents. The narrow passage was inconvenient for escape.

Now that such an unexpected situation had occurred, it was naturally impossible to continue forward. Staying where they were and retreating was the best choice.

After everyone returned to the spacious burial pit, they no longer had the excitement they had when exploring the ancient tomb. Instead, their faces were filled with nervousness and fear, especially when faced with the densely packed human skeletons. It was simply a scalp-numbing fear.

No one knew how deep the tomb was underground. Not only was the environment humid, but the Yin energy was also extremely thick. Even though everyone's spacesuits were still functioning normally, they could still feel a chill seeping into their bodies from the soles of their feet. It was so cold that everyone started to shiver.

This was too abnormal. The spacesuits they were wearing wouldn't be this cold even if they were placed on the coldest planet in the galaxy.

"The ancient tomb has been buried underground for a long time. It might have formed a poisonous miasma or something. Everyone, take out a potion …"

Nangong Xuan also couldn't stand the cold and suggested that since the spacesuits were functioning normally, there must be something wrong with their bodies. This was the only explanation.

"It's not poisonous miasma. We might have encountered … something unclean."

Gu Bai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. Following his words, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Everyone shivered from the cold. Nangong Xuan couldn't help but grumble.

"What do you mean by something unclean? Could it be a ghost?

Classmate Qiao, this is the Interstellar Era. Can you stop being an alarmist here? "

She had been displeased with Gu Bai for a long time. She was already nervous to begin with, and when she heard Gu Bai's voice, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

"Yes, Classmate Qiao, please stop causing trouble …"

Everyone nodded in agreement. They looked at Gu Bai with displeasure. Metaphysics and supernatural things had become a joke in the Interstellar Era. No one would believe it.

"Believe him, believe this love-struck fool. His intuition is right. Did you really encounter a ghost?"

While everyone was complaining, the people on the Interstellar Web were holding their chests and shouting.

Only the heavens knew how anxious they were when they saw the crowd's ignorance and the female ghost's sinister smile that only they could see.

However, no matter how anxious the people outside were, the people inside the ancient tomb were very unhappy with Gu Bai's words.

If it weren't for the presence of General Han, they would have kicked this guy out of the tomb. They were already nervous. Could he not scare them with such a serious expression?

Everyone started complaining, as if this could ease the tension in their hearts. Han Lijun, on the other hand, trusted and doted on Gu Bai like honey.

"Everyone, quiet down. The old ancestor's saying is right. Three heads are better than one. Now, we need to gather everyone's opinions to come up with a countermeasure … Alright, Xiao Qi, tell us your opinion."

What do you mean by gathering everyone's opinions to come up with a countermeasure? You're just thinking about what he said alone?

The people who had already seen through the General's character grumbled in their hearts. They were glad that the General had finally stopped calling Qiao Qiao 'little darling'. Then, they obediently quieted down.

Gu Bai wasn't in the mood to care about these people's dissatisfaction. He looked around vigilantly.

He knew that something unclean was approaching them. Although the ancient tomb's Yin energy was heavy, it wasn't to this extent. Even he, who had some cultivation, felt a chill, let alone these ordinary people.

It wasn't because of the temperature, but because the strong Yin energy made people's Yang energy weak.

What kind of powerful thing could affect soldiers with Rank S mental strength and above?

He didn't even notice that the other party had snuck into the team …

"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I can tell you now that a ghost has snuck into our team. It doesn't dare to appear openly, which means it has scruples. Now, I need everyone's cooperation to find it."

After a moment of silence, Gu Bai took out a compass-like compass from his storage bag as he spoke.

Although they didn't know what this ghost was, judging from the age of the ancient tomb, it must be an old ghost that was at least a thousand years old.

An old ghost with this level of cultivation didn't need to be so stealthy if it wanted to kill them. Now that it had snuck in, it must have some scruples.

Since that was the case, he had nothing to lose. After all, he could return to the stars even if he died. There was no need to be afraid.

In short, he wouldn't return so easily today. He had a very strange premonition. He felt like there was something in the tomb that was attracting him, giving him a strong feeling that he had to go in.

No one knew what he wanted to do, but under Han Lijun's signal, they obediently cooperated. The people on the Star Web also looked at him with their hearts in their throats, praying silently.

Under everyone's gaze, Gu Bai's face was calm. He focused and began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body to activate the compass.

Before he came in, he expected that there would be ghosts in the ancient tomb. He wasn't an authentic ghost hunter, but he knew a thing or two.

Under the urging of spiritual power, the needle in the compass began to spin rapidly. After a few seconds, it stopped in one direction. Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the needle tip. Suddenly, they were scared and took a step back. Their backs were cold and they took a deep breath.

"He, he's dead …"

Someone said with a sobbing tone.

It was the young man whose galactic space suit was destroyed. The person who was alive just now was already dead. He was curled up in a corner, his entire body covered in a layer of frost. He was obviously frozen to death!

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the temperature around them drop. A woman's voice sounded.

"Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the River Continent.

A fair lady, a gentleman's dream … "

This woman's voice was very soft and charming, but there was a hint of gloominess to it. Especially in this environment, the galactic people couldn't understand what she was saying. They only felt that the gloomy tone made the soles of their feet turn cold for no reason.

"What, what is this sound …"

No matter how much they didn't believe it, they couldn't help but be afraid. Their galactic weapons couldn't be used, their communicators and personal terminals couldn't be used, and now someone was dead.

There was no way forward, and there was no way back. There were tens of thousands of people buried beside them, and there was a gloomy poem in their ears. Some people were so scared that they started to cry.

The gloomy female voice was still reciting.

"… A fair lady, a gentleman, a gentleman's dream.

A gentleman's dream, a gentleman, a gentleman, is my singing good?

The king once praised my voice as the sound of heaven and ordered me to sing it every day. Unfortunately, the king passed away early. I sing it every day, but no one appreciates it, leaving me alone … It's rare for all of you to come today. Why don't you stay and accompany me … "

The voice spoke slowly and faintly. After it finished speaking, it started to chuckle.

Before Gu Bai could react, the gloomy energy in the air suddenly intensified. There were rustling sounds all around, and the skeletons that were lying quietly in the pit suddenly moved as if they were alive.

"Men, leave them all to be buried with us!"

The female ghost's soft voice suddenly became sharp and cold. The skeletons in the pit instantly moved as if they had received an order.
